The Alexandra hiking trail is a lovely hike through the forests and the beach. It is not for the faint hearted though as it is 19km on day one and 16km the following day. There is no water source on the route so I suggest taking at least 4litres of water for the hike, trust me, you will need every drop. I would suggest making a stop by the backpackers just before you start the beach hike to get a rest and some food before you start the long beach hike. Our hiking time for day 1 was 7 seven hours, excluding the stop at the backpackers. We saw dolphins as we were hiking towards the hut which was a beautiful site after a long day of hiking. The hut has no electricity and there is no cellphone service. There is a gas stove and cutlery in the kitchen with a sponge and dishwashing liquid. There are candles as well as beds to sleep in, just bring a sleeping bag. There is rain water from the tank which is the only water source on the route. The view from the hut is amazing and I would suggest arriving earlier to catch the sunset from the balcony and unwind before day 2. While it was hot, I enjoyed doing the hike in summer as the days are longer and we spent a good time outside in the balcony. Starting the hike on day 2 at about 5/6am might be a good idea as the combination of heat and sand dunes is torcherous. It took us 3 hours to complete the sand dunes, it might take you a bit quicker if you are all fit. A great and challenging hike overall, I would certainly bring a bigger backpack next time to carry more water.

A really lovely spot to visit, especially with animal-mad kids. As it does wild animal rehabilitation, many of the animals have a back-story which makes it more interesting. The walk-in aviary is amazing, built around a beautiful tree and a platform for viewing the colourful inhabitants. The restaurant area is very neat and comfortable, and the menu is good. The service is friendly. It is a perfect place to visit on your way in or out of Addo Elephant Park. Highly recommended.

5. Schotia Tooth and Claw Safari

Schotia offers one of the best chances to see lions in the wild. This private malaria free reserve close to the Addo Elephant National Park is probably the most densely stocked reserve in Africa, and with over 40 mammal species and approximately 2000 animals, can offer consistently good game viewing throughout the year.

We went on this safari at the end of October with our 3 boys. Nic was our guide and he was great - really enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We seen all the animals except the hippo. Loved that we were able to get so close to the animals. We had an evening meal too were there was a wonderful atmosphere and great hospitality. As a family we had a wonderful experience and made great memories.

Hillary is a very professional tour guide who has a vast knowledge of tourism. She is very welcoming pleasant and highly motivated guide (recommendable!) My husband and I truly enjoyed her company and she made us very comfortable hence went out of her way to show us the animals in the Addo National Park and accommodate us with lovely coffee break, delicious lunch and fulfilling our requests. Hillary is friendly and a humorous lady filled with interesting information and you can tell that she really loves what she does. All the respect for Hillary who does a great job there; a true sample of Excellent Tour Guide. Way to go Hillary, keep up your good work!!! Riyaz Essa, Toronto, Canada
